Lochsa River

Landlubber Mike
Thanks for following guys. Lochsa, you're right about the canopy. There are fit issues in general with this kit - most of which aren't too difficult to deal with - but the canopy is a bit of a mess. I'm not really looking forward to that part of the build.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here too!

Nice detailing and progress 👍

Transall NG
A nice and strong landing gear !

Landlubber Mike
Thanks guys! Transall, it seems a lot stronger than the kit parts which were made from pretty thin plastic.

Pietro De Angelis
Beautiful work, congrats!

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Pietro! Still a long way to go. In the middle of priming the fuselage and having gap and other problems popping up. This is the build that never seems to end 🙁

gorby
Amazing work on the landing gear.

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Gorby! This was my first time trying to scratch build landing gear. Took me probably 20 hours 🙁 I ended up using Albion Alloys brass tubing for a lot of it, along with music wire, copper wire, plastic tubing, and other materials. I've bumped it a few times already and it is very stable so fingers crossed it makes it to the finish line!

Mr D
Nice 😀👍 a water-bird , nice work and like the extras

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Mr D! Really appreciate it!

Jennifer Franklin
I love all the scratch building, especially the landing gear; it is very nice! It's a great result.

Landlubber Mike
Thank you very much Jennifer!

Michael Kohl
Time to replace the teaser picture with one of your build. 🙂

Landlubber Mike
That might jinx me!

Michael Kohl
Oh yeah. You gotta be super-careful with that. This site is full of black magic. Pssst. Between us: I know for sure because it's the only explanation how some guys here achieve their otherworldly results.
Happy modelling - but watch your back 😉

Landlubber Mike
Yeah, I know what you mean. Some people here are ridiculously talented!

I ended up finishing the JRS-1 tonight. Finally pictures in my album. And Michael, I did replace the teaser picture with my final build - now that it's done and stored in my glass case, much less risk of jinxing myself!

gorby
WOW Stunning result Mike!
Looks like you might be one of those ridiculously talented people. 😉

Guy Rump
Excellent modelling. 👍

Neuling
I agree with gorby and Guy. 👍👍

Curatorm
A masterpiece and a delight for the eyes, bravo!

Alec K
Very well done 👍

Michael Kohl
Excellent result.

Landlubber Mike
Thank you guys! This one was a tricky one for sure, but I'm happy with how it came out. Definitely a cool paint scheme, very colorful bird!

Ctirad B
A beautifully made kit of an unusual aircraft! Bravo!

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Ctirad!

Nicolas
Congrats, superb result.👍

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Nicolas!

Jennifer Franklin
Definitely a beauty.

Lochsa River
very cool result and a great floatplane

Casey Beckett
Yellow wing anything - always a great look - very nice work!

Landlubber Mike
Thank you Jennifer, Lochsa and Casey! Really appreciate it!

Robert Podkoński
You're a wizard, Mike! Awesome job!

Landlubber Mike
Thanks Robert!

Michael Kohl
Nice to see a 917.

George Williams
Good work on those stripes.

bossy122
Thanks. Only wish it hadn't taken two attempts. On the first attempt, I couldnt get the 2 outer stripes to line up correctly at all. This time around, I applied the BIG three pronged forward decal and then quickly did the aft decal and had to adjust the 2 at the same time.
